Workshops

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009             1:00-5:00 PM
Gary Christen,  The Times We Live In.  

We certainly live in Interesting Times, and the current planetary combinations confirm that this is a critical period in human history. It's all happening now: economic upheavals, large-scale social transformation, and climate and earth changes.

For many years, Gary presented annual Solstice talks in which he predicted upcoming world events for the year, and also gave personal readings based on the winter solstice chart. In this workshop, Gary will give an insider's view of the techniques he uses to develop these predictions from solstice and other ingress charts. (While there will be no personal readings during this workshop, students will learn how to do such predictions for themselves.) He will also show techniques from Symmetrical Astrology on the current and coming combinations as well as how he integrates dynamic material for mundane forecasting.

Gary will also discuss rare upcoming planetary patterns – combinations that do not happen often in human history, let alone a lifetime. We should have lots of fun and get Gary's perspective on the times.

Cost: $30 members, $40 non-members

Bill Meridian,  Eclipses: Their Rules and Paths

In this workshop, Bill will describe the eclipse rules of Charles Jayne and L. Edward Johndro. This powerful set of techniques allows one to accurately judge the effects of an eclipse, and to determine the timing of these effects by both transits and progressions. Bill will also describe how you determine your “birth eclipse,” and how to interpret your personal eclipse path. In addition, Bill will discuss the use of eclipses and shadows in mundane astrology.

BILL MERIDIAN became interested in the stock market in 1966. After obtaining his BS and MBA degrees in 1972, he began to study cycles. This led to the study of astrology in October of that year.

He was heavily influenced by Charles Jayne, his teacher, and by the Hamburg School of astrology. The bioenergetic school of psychotherapy has also been a big influence -- Bill spent seven years in training in New York City. Bill began on Wall Street as a fundamental analyst utilizing horoscopes of incorporation. He then developed the concept of the horoscope of first trade. In 1978, he began to design computer programs in order to perform the heavy number-crunching that is required to relate stock market movements to planetary motion. Bill has been involved in the design of numerous successful market analysis programs that integrate the use of planetary cycles.

Bill has worked both the buy and sell side of Wall Street, most recently spending 14 years in the Middle East as a fund manager and strategist. He currently operates his own business from his home in Europe. Bill spends most of his time in Vienna, London, Tokyo, and Abu Dhabi. His website is http://www.billmeridian.com/ .

Jeri London,  Karmic Astrology and Spirituality 

In this workshop we will examine the traditional definition of karma as well as expanded and current views. In the process of human evolution we learn spiritual lessons. Examining karmic points of the astrological chart in conjunction with the 12 signs can tell us much about what we came into this life to learn or master. Within our human experience we become aware of what is toxic and depleting in our lives—the shadow side of ourselves. As evolutionary beings we can choose to shift our consciousness from a state of darkness or imbalance to an energy field which is healing, restoring, and of the light. Awareness augments the raising of our vibrational frequency. Spiritual laws and spiritual practices will be discussed in reference to the karmic points and the 12 signs as a means of re-orienting our energy field from imbalance to balance. Part of this workshop will include viewing charts of well known figures, both past and present.

Cost: $30 members; $40 non-members

Bruce Scofield,   Astrology, Planetary Evolution, and Your Life Path: A 2012 Survivor's Guide

The next few years present a minefield of difficult outer planet transits that we all must deal with. This workshop presents a common-sense approach to personal astrological planning in tough times. Topics  include how to use your transits and progressions to chart your course, and how to use the Law of Symbolic Substitution to take control of difficult planetary symbolism.  We will also discuss how to evaluate the claims of 2012 experts, doomsday mongers, and skeptics; and examine the latest scientific evidence regarding earth changes and solar phenomena and their relationship to astrology.

This workshop is geared to astrology students of all levels.  Bring your own charts.

Cost: $30 members; $40 non-members



Sunday, May 23, 2010  1:00 – 5:00 PM  (Please note Sunday date!)

Per Henrik Gullfoss, The 10 Step Program of L.A. (Lover’s Anonymous)

There is a ten-step program for fulfilling your love desires.  Each planet, starting with the Sun (pure ego-centered consciousness) out to Pluto (love at all costs), is a portal to our inner world.  You cannot skip the needs of any of the planets in between to find true fulfillment.  We as astrologers are given access to a deep and valuable gift of understanding that we can use to benefit the lives of others.  For those of us that want to learn how to succeed at love.. and understand why we fail every now and then.

Julene Packer-Louis, The Art of Astrological Timing

Outer planet transits, secondary progressions, and solar arc directions set the stage for the major themes of life's events because they hold their aspects for a year or more. But when within this longer now are events most likely to occur? This workshop unfolds a timing sequence based on planet speed, and therefore duration of aspect, that shows how event windows open up astrologically like tumblers in a lock.  A few famous and/or client event examples will illustrate how timing works.  The second half of the workshop will be hands on timing of life events. So bring your chart, your ephemeris, and the accurate date of a past event you'd like to unfold astrologically. Julene will walk you through timing step by step as a group, pausing at each stage to provide as much personal attention as possible while you time your own event.
